Kim:
I agree - it's VERY difficult to think of the Packers w/out Brett - they'll have a long way to go to get back into contention w/out him!! But, alas, it will be inevitable one day!!
And I was extremely shocked and saddened at the loss of Reggie White - especially the way he went (my brother has a similar condition!!). Plus, he's younger than I am - which is hard to phanthom!! They both brought back the Pack to a respectable, "no frills", true Football team & town!! Saw that Dallas/Green Bay championship game from Europe - needless to say, it wasn't worth staying up late over there (I had to stay at work, too - since I didn't get American TV at my house!) The following year - I did go to the game in Lambeau - where the tables' were turned!! YES!!
Yes, the Greek Islands were "Fantabulous!!" - I had wanted to go there on my 40th BD, but some career issues interefered (ie military), so it became my dream/retirement gift to myself!! Wonderful place - started in Venice (we arrived a day before and left a day after returning), and hit Dubrovinick, Crete, Rhodes, Santori/Mykonos & Athens. This was right after 9/11 (like a month), so we were very careful!! But Tahiti should really be great - those waters look sooooooooo neat!! Very relaxing, etc!! On my list as well!! Do understand about "balancing" vacations - luckily I have enough friends that want to do both (plus I'm single - helps once in a while!)!! My sis & I are going on a BtB cruise to Alaska - the last time I went I did try Halibut fishing (to no avail!) - but enjoyed it nonetheless!! Alaska's beautiful - lot's to see and do!! We're a bit on the artistic side - so we like to go and draw/paint when we can (since we've been there a couple of times before!!) African Safari would be very neat - my Sis wants to try that too!!
Can't blame you about the airshow - I drove past it on HWY 41, and it was crazy!! I went to the air show in Tampa last year - and everyone talks about Oshkosh!! Does remind me of Door County in the summertime - if we only would have known we'd appreciated it more!!
So is your daughter going with you to Tahiti?? What's the countdown again (I bet you know the days, hours & minutes to go!!)
Well - time to go!! Nice chatting, Kim!!
